AMHERST, Mass. ? Despite two individual first place finishes each from junior Chris Arsenault (Peabody, Mass.) and senior Ed Hefferon (Stratford, Conn.), the Minutemen fell to the University of Maryland Baltimore County by a close score of 116-121.
Arsanault recorded victories in the 200 yard freestyle (1:42.06) and the 200 yard butterfly (1:54.35). His time in the 200 freestyle is the fastest for UMass this season and bests his own previous top time of 1:42.29. Arsenault?s 200 butterfly mirrored his freestyle results - it too is UMass? fastest time and an improvement on his old mark of 1:55.40. Diving stand-out Hefferon bested his previous UMass top scores with marks of 327.75 and 360.9 in the 1 meter and 3-meter diving, respectively. Other wins came from freshman Tommy Keane (Melrose, Mass) in the 500 yard freestyle (4:43.41) and the 800 yard freestyle relay team of Tommy Keane, Anthony Bianchini (Westfield, Mass), Justin Houck (Wyomissing, PA), and Chris Arsenault.
